Pulling when accelerating PLEASE HELP

Aight I just got new tires on my 2001 Civic EX Coupe. I was driving and noticed that when I took my foot off the gas and let go of the stearling wheel my car would go straight, but once I put my foot on the gas it was jerk to the left. I have been experiementing with that, and noticed that it only happens when i am accelerating and once I am doing accelerating it doesn't pull anymore. And I took you alls advice and got the transmission fuild changed but it still scrapes when i shift my car into 3rd. I think my car is falling apart. Anyone HELP Please! Thanks

well it doesnt matter, anytime you install new tires, shocks, springs, you get an alignment.

If the fluid change didn't help, then it sounds like your synchros are going bad. Well, what fluid was put into the tranny? Are you SURE they did it?

I took it to Blurington Honda which is the honda dealership, so I would think that they would not screw me ove, since they are a dealership. But I had one of my friends look at the car, turns out that the front barings from both crontroll arms are busted! So that was all that was messed up in the front. He is supposed to give me a call with the prices. I'll let yall know, just incase someone else post with this porblem. Thanks later

sounds like a strong likely hood of the problem, but did it pull before the new tires? Normally an alignment wont casue a pull under accell or decell. This is usually caused from a loose part as in bushing, motor mount, and other things. Even a flat tire can sometimes cause this
